States sue TikTok contending addiction harms youth mental health
More than a dozen states and the District of Columbia filed lawsuits against TikTok in state courts alleging the app’s design and features create addictive use among children. The actions hinge on the For You feed algorithm and urge to scroll, persistent notifications, and face filters. The suits follow a national probe into TikTok sparked by attorneys general from New York, California, Kentucky, New Jersey and others. District of Columbia calls the algorithm dopamine inducing and intentionally addictive to trap young users for hours. TikTok and ByteDance challenge a federal law that could ban the platform by mid January if a sale is not completed, with appeals ongoing.
